“What AU Looks For”

A limited series focusing on tips for future applicants of American University—all told with a healthy dose of fun and light-heartedness.

“I Am A Changemaker”

An ongoing series of my creation, capturing the vibrancy of the student experience at AU. The tagline ties into a university-wide campaign celebrating our students as “changemakers for a changing world.”

“Intern Spotlight”

An ongoing series highlighting the unique and varied internship opportunities available at American University.

"Inside the Classroom"

A series of faculty testimonials showcasing the daily inner workings of a DCC class. 

"What I Love"

"What I Love" was a series focusing on Dutchess County residents and their hobbies.  

"Patio Sessions"

Patio Sessions was a series filmed over two consecutive summers showcasing local musicians with performances on the patio outside of the Poughkeepsie Journal building. 

"The Long Road Home"

This was an eight-month-long project I put together on my own at the Journal. Focusing on five local veterans, the series depicted each of their successes and challenges while readjusting back to the civilian world. I also wrote the accompanying written piece and took all of the photos.  

Special Project: Independent Cambridge

Independent Cambridge was a semester-long project I completed with three of my peers for my final undergraduate journalism class at Boston University--a "senior capstone" project, if you will. Using the skills we developed over the last three years, we decided to profile four local, independently owned businesses in Cambridge, MA, and examine their struggles and triumphs. We created a Wordpress-based website, four videos and articles, dozens of photographs, quizzes, and accompanying graphics. My main contribution involved the two videos you see here, although I also copy-edited the articles, took photos, and designed all of the logos and graphics. You can see the finished product here. 

During the summer of 2013 I offered my services to Strength for Life, a non-profit organization that provides exercise programs for cancer survivors. This series of testimonials was the final product.
